Is there a "get individual"?
Well it doesn't exactly exist as a tool but you can achieve this with a vertex group and the shrinkwrap modifier.

So you first take your selection and assign it to a vertex group, then apply a shrinkwrap modifier with the target being the plane below and the shrinkwrap mode being "Project". Then you just need to select the axis you want to project along and the direction on that axis.

After you've done all that you should have your result. You can now apply the modifier and delete the vertex group.
